    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    See y'all there this weekend. As a former New Yorker, I have a heartfelt affinity for Grado headphones and especially phono cartridges.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Well, out of ten Schiit components I am having to send my first back for service... My 22-month-old Lyr+ went toasty the last two days; first no signal in the headphone jack, then the potentiometer stopped it's trademark clicking and volume went low and seemed out of sync, and finally no sound...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    My wife and I will be at CanJam Dallas. Two questions, 1- will you be there, and if so may I get an autograph on my copy of "Schiit Happened" if you are not crazy busy doing what you came to do? 2- Will Stjarna be there, and when may I buy it (ballpark- Jason's rule, I get it), I have been...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    If you are going to serve coffee in the new Schiitr, it has to be on brand... I am thinking Kopi Luwak/ Civet coffee for obvious reasons 😆!

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I like your idea of a house. That is where people listen. When my wife and I bought a pair of Sonus faber and went in to have an hour listening session at the dealer (here in Texas) it was nice, but it was a treated room with great acoustics and clearly set up for our appointment. It would have...

    Today's selections all washed up, coffee in hand, Skoll fired up, let the listening begin!

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    After @Paladin79 mentioning it earlier this week (us non-retired guys gotta wait till Friday evening), I am cracking one of my Utopias with a little Bill Evans Trio Sunday at the Village Vanguard this afternoon. Cheers y'all! (I think the bottle makes a good record weight LOL, yes, I will...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I own both, and this is my opinion, since you solicited it :)Aegir is super detailed and very transparent, marginally, but noticeably better than Vidar if you are concentrating on listening (i.e. not background music while you do something else)... particularly at night. That said, I do miss the...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    My wife and I just bought our tickets to CanJam Dallas, and are looking forward to going and seeing all the new Schiit! Anyone else going to be there?

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Does anyone know if Schiit will be at CanJam Dallas November 2 & 3? Have any of you been to a CanJam? I am thinking of going since it is right down the street here... I have never been to an audio show, have any of you? Is it fun and worth it as just a regular guy who likes audio?

    Thinking about my affinity for vinyl and with Stjarna coming out, I wonder if this takes our hobby too far LOL... https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/08/vinyl-lovers-collection-memorial-trend/

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Just noticed on this picture from @CEE TEE that Schiit actually uses their PYST cables in the Schiitr. That's kind of cool to know. Has anyone else tried them in their system?

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Will Schiit ever sell prints in the "schwag" store of the "Ape Schiit" poster hanging in the Schiitr? I would totally pay $20 to hang that in my listening room too!

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    As I sit here in here in Texas awaiting our Schiitr meets I am thinking of tonight's in California. Will someone who is there please be kind enough to post pictures of Stjarna, which I am eagerly waiting to purchase, and please tell us what the Schiit Wotan is all about? Thank you and have fun...

    But Stjarna is a big thing I have been waiting to buy. Since it will be at the meet any estimate on when it will be available for purchase?

    Saga 2 launches, Kara has launched, I wonder if a new Freya+ is coming soon?

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    My Skoll replaced a $2,000 Tavish Design Adagio because it flat out sounded better. I have my cash saved and cannot wait to hear Stjarna! Skoll is amazing, it will be interesting to see just how much more performance Schiit can achieve.

    VPI works great with Skoll using balanced connections. I love it.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Thank you for the update. Also, on the big thing... please tell me its a re-release of Sol to match up with the Stjarna launch!? Now that would be awesome! You would totally have at least one buyer (me)! :) I cannot vouch for any others though...

    Late night with Schiit Skoll, Miles Davis, and Thelonius Monk.

    The closer we get to Stjarna's release, the more I wish I had pulled the trigger on a Sol while I had the chance... Can't find one anywhere online either.

    No balanced input for Stjarna?

    For eye floaters, get checked for macular degeneration. My grandfather and mother had it and they have shots to clear it up now. Maybe that will help?

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Read about this in Stereophile and I loved Dire Straits, so I listened... Wow, probably not news to you older gents, but Mark is amazing and this new album sounded stellar on my Schiit/Piega system. I ordered the vinyl... Its that good.
